I have finally begun to study ASP.NET 2.0. I am currently reading ASP.NET 2.0 For Dummies by Bill Hatfield. I am up to chapter 13. Unfortunately, everything I have read so far has been really basic review of ASP.NET. So I skipped ahead to Part VIII, Exploring New ASP.NET 2.0 Features which has 4 chapters. I think these 4 chapters may represent the only new material in the book. I’ve read the chapter on master pages and the chapter on skins and themes. The other chapters are on security and web parts.
I may need to buy another book on ASP.NET 2.0 to learn more details about the new features. Before I do that I want to sell some of my other old technology books because I have books piled up all over the place.
